Slowing down/aging

I'm almost 40 and feel nothing different. 40s are prime still surely, not like we're doing olympics.

Depends on your circumstances. Perhaps you never worked particularly hard in the first place to get tired as you aged😉

Herself believes In all full fat butters, cheeses, yoghurts etc and is like a whippet. I think it's all modern foods and sauces with a higher standard of living. Nobody wants hardship anymore! It's very noticeable in around the towns people carrying a few extra pounds, doesn't seem as bad around the countryside( easy access perhaps to fast food)

IIf You want to.lose weight go on the low carb diet. Basically you cut out anything with sugar, bread, potatoes, pasta rice etc.

Lost nearly 30 ponds between late January and first of May. Smoked fish for breakfast with tomato, mushroom potched egg, or an omelette, fry etc

Lunch is a salad usually make it in a small lunch box, lettuce, onion tomato, cucumber, chickpeas,( they are great) or beetroot a meat source and grated cheese with full fat mayonnaise.

Whatever is cooked for dinner I have it without spuds chips, rice etc. You stop feeling hungry after 48 hours and have plenty of energy. 1-2 spoons of milled linseed keeps your bowel right

I am 62, 14-14.5 stone at present intend to go again and lose another 10-15 pounds. Did a lot of driving and sitting with work. Has significant back injuries so used to go to the gym doing stretches, pool walking weight etc.

Covid stopped that so I started a routine at home, I do a 30 minute routine 4-5 mornings a week it's floor stretches and weights and aim for a minimum 10k steps a day.

Go for 5-6 pints one a week always walk hone from the pub it's mile and a half and often walk to it as well. Was out meeting a lad last night had 6 was there at 9.30 home at half one was up this morning at about 8am. No floor routine this morning a three egg omelette

Visited my GP last year, as a private patient, for check up, blood tests etc. I specifically mentioned PSA to him in case he forgot and he informed me that they no longer do this test as it's no longer considered reliable - which surprised me. Mind you he did not recommend an alternative test. He's a youngish doc, in his late 30's I would guess, so should be up to speed on things. Perhaps it's time to get a second opinion

My point would be that apart from an odd treat or for mountaineers, biscuits have no real business in a healthy diet.

Eating 6 raw carrots rather than 2 wouldn't do you much harm.

Porridge was only designed for cold weather and to spare the oats, I'd be starving a few hours after eating a right big bowl of it.

Straight oats along witha pinch of seeds nuts and dried fruit and good slosh of milk would keep me going twice as long.

The best part of getting a bit older is you dont really care what anyone thinks.

Ya didn't understand my point. The app is used to track what you eat, not tell ya what to eat, or as you think there, what's good/shite. If ya accurately estimate the amounts (via weight), it would give a good overview of the macro nutrients you got in, as well as the calories. Combined with a fitness watch that would guesstimate your calorie burn, it can give a good view of the ins/outs.

Breakfast and lunch

What catches you is hunger. Highly processed foods not but there was a bit on my plate this morning, but when you add sugar to them it will not sadate the appetite and you body see high sugar levels. It says I do not need that at present and starts storing it as fat and you are hungry In an hours time again

I eat some very healthy food. Large amounts of fruit/veg.

But also overall it’s terrible with massive amounts of sweets and taytos.

Not had a blood test in 10 years but in fit shape bar stiffness.

I think the problem is some people are more prone to blood sugar swings and putting on weight than others. It's easier to be an active person if your energy isn't poor/crashing regularly

A high fat low carb diet will even off the differences somewhat and give a better chance of being able to stick to a reduced calorie intake than purely focusing on calorie intake/activity levels.

4 eggs, bit of fruit and kilo of red meat a day keeps me going. Don't eat poultry/seed oils as don't want the inflammation from poly unsaturated oils.

"if there work is sedentary"

I accept your point but the above phrase is key to mine. Humans don't do sedentary well.
